Shreyas Iyer is showing that leadership is well within his shoulders. Having steered Punjab Kings to their first IPL final in 11 years, he has now taken SoBo Mumbai Falcons to the semifinals of the T20 Mumbai League, India's top domestic franchise tournament under the Mumbai Cricket Association.

“Captaincy brings in a lot of maturity and responsibility,” Iyer said, reflecting on his rise as a leader. With over 600 runs in IPL 2025 and an inspiring presence on the field, Iyer is now being seen as a serious contender for India’s future white-ball captaincy. There’s even talk of a potential Test call-up for the upcoming series in England.

His captaincy has impressed not only due to performances, but also how he deals with pressure. "I try to live in the moment and accept the situation. Sometimes the crowd transfers that energy, I keep reminding myself I want them to cheer my name," Iyer explained.

Shreyas Iyer Continues to Impress as Captain in T20 Mumbai League

Following the IPL final on June 3, Iyer quickly returned to captain the SoBo Falcons. His dedication was evident, and the team complied by winning four out of their five league matches. His calmness, tactical awareness, and people-first mentality have won players' and fans' admiration.

His Punjab Kings teammate, Shashank Singh, shared a moment of emotion during the playoffs, when Iyer visibly erupted in anger after a relaxed dismissal. Singh subsequently confessed, "I deserve it; Iyer should have slapped me." Yet he also credited Iyer with being the best T20 captain he has ever had, explaining how Iyer had taken him out to dinner after the game, demonstrating his capacity to lead without grudges.

Iyer credited the T20 Mumbai League for providing local talent a bigger platform. “The MCA has worked hard to bring this league and offer grassroots players a chance to thrive,” he noted. With the semifinals and final set to be played at Wankhede, Iyer’s journey as a captain continues to gain momentum. His maturity, consistency, and leadership qualities make him a name to watch in India’s cricket plans.

Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw has once again made headlines with his batting. Recently criticised for his poor form, Shaw gave a strong reply to his critics by playing a brilliant innings of 75 runs. This performance not only showed his talent but also proved that he can perform well even under pressure.

Prithvi Shaw scored 75 runs in just 34 balls, including 12 fours and 3 sixes. His strike rate was 220.59, showing his aggressive batting style. He played this brilliant innings for the Mumbai Panthers, and his performance is being praised a lot on social media. This knock not only helped his team but also boosted the morale of his fans.

There were questions about Shaw’s form in recent times, but this innings gave a strong reply to all the criticism. One of his Instagram stories went viral, which read, "They questioned his form. HE ANSWERED WITH HIS BAT. 75 (34)."

Shaw started hitting big shots from the beginning while opening against Suryakumar Yadav’s team. Even though his opening partner Divyansh Saxena got out after scoring just one run, Shaw kept playing fearlessly. He completed his half-century in just 23 balls.

Shaw was not retained by Delhi Capitals and went unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He was criticised for his poor form and fitness. But with this knock, he has made a strong comeback and answered his critics.

Mumbai Panthers scored 207 runs while batting first. In reply, Triumphs Knights MNE could only score 169 runs. Siddhant Adhatharao scored 76 runs for the team, but the other batsmen did not support him. Captain Suryakumar Yadav scored 29 runs in 16 balls but was dismissed by Pratik Mishra. Pratik bowled brilliantly and took 4 wickets for 30 runs in 3.5 overs. Rahul Sawant also took 2 wickets. The Triumphs Knights MNE batsmen failed to perform against the strong bowling attack.

NMP vs AT Match Preview:

North Mumbai Panthers (NMP) opened their account against AA. In this match, NMP restricted AA to 134 runs, thanks to lethal bowling spells from Pratik Mishra and Rahul Sawant. In the second innings, skipper Prithvi Shaw and D. Saxena provided a flying start in the powerplay, which consequently helped NMP emerge victorious. With this win, NMP moved to seventh place. 

Aakash Tigers MWS (AT) continued their poor performance, facing their third consecutive defeat in the tournament. However, in the last match against BB, Aakash Tigers lost by just 1 run. Shams Mulani, Jay Bista, and Arjun Dani delivered excellent performances, but their efforts were not enough. AT currently sits in last place. 

North Mumbai Panthers (NMP) will aim to maintain their momentum, while Aakash Tigers MWS (AT) will look to regroup and intensify their efforts in pursuit of victory.
